A Baby Girl Will Always Be Just That

She willingly accepts and embraces her littleness, is given all the hand me downs, always seems to be told "no, youʻre too little", can never be the oldest or the middle and yet she at times acts the oldest and wisest, appreciates her sisters hand me downs, strives to do all her brother and sister do and loves each member of the family unconditionally.  She might very well be 3 now, and at times seems much older, but she will ALWAYS be my baby.  She gives the sweetest kisses and hugs, often wears the most mismatched outfits, laughs like she is her own biggest fan, helps if someone needs it and wakes up with the craziest hair.  While I would love to put her in dresses and bows (and sometimes sheʻll let me), at 3 she is absolutely her own person and knows exactly what she wants and doesnʻt want.  She is a joyful little sprite and I wish for all of her dreams to come true.  Happy Birthday Addley Preston!
